Caelin"Actually, I would since you're asking."The way she opens and closes her mouth says she wasn't expecting me to ask, but that's my favorite part about being with her. There are moments where she's so vulnerable and then others where she's stronger than I ever could have imagined she would be. Finally she composes herself. "You'll just have to keep on peeling the layers back and find out for yourself.""I can work with that."It's then she notices the mama and babies laying in the middle of my living room on the blanket and towel I brought them up on. "Ohmigosh! They're so little, and she's so pretty.""Yeah, I don't think she's very old." I have a seat on the floor next to them. "Probably just old enough to have been able to have a litter.""I hope she wasn't hurt." Justice sits down next to me, folding her legs underneath her and holding her hand out for the mama to sniff. "You're such a good mama," she praises. "Taking care of your puppies."To my surprise she gets up, coming

JusticeMy phone buzzes, the noise being louder than normal as it's sitting on my desk. I hadn't wanted to miss when Caelin might call or text. Flipping it over, I see that I have a text from him."Oh my gosh!"When I open the text, it's a picture of the puppies all happily cuddled up, with Caelin laying on the floor, Joanie's head in the crook of his arm. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Both my mom and Mandy rush to my side."How hot is that?" Mandy grins."Would you stop." I smack her. "You're starting to give me a complex.""I was wondering when you were finally going to get sick of me ogling your man and stand up for yourself."Her words give me pause. Is that what everyone is waiting on me to do? With everything in my life? Are they purposely trying to get a reaction out of me? In some ways I can definitely see it. Especially with them telling me to be careful and not telling Harley. I wonder if there are other pieces of it I've ignored. I vow to myself I won't let it happen

JusticeThe door shuts behind Caelin and Joanie, leaving me alone in the apartment. This is the first time I've ever been able to inspect Caelin's private space without anyone seeing how I respond. At the clubhouse, there's always people around for one reason or another, and he hasn't left me by myself here prior to this moment.I'm gazing at the living space through brand-new eyes. Instead of the love-sick girl who used to follow him around, I'm now the woman who is this close to knowing how he feels inside of me. My body heats up as I remember what we did in his bed mere hours ago. Taking a deep breath, I walk over to where I've dropped my bag and pick it up. With shaking hands I bring it back to his bedroom. As I cross the threshold, I think of how it felt to me the other night. It was so much smaller in the dark of night, rather than the light of the early evening sun. Right now it looks huge, as if it could swallow me whole if I let it.I guess that's honestly a good metaphor for

Justice"Should we buckle her in?" I worry my lip between my teeth.Caelin grins indulgently at me. I can't help but notice the mark he has on his neck. Knowing I put it there last night? It's going to give me pride for a very long time. "Do you think she needs to be buckled in?""I grabbed a seat belt at PetSmart." I hold it up in my right hand. "Safety first and all."He chuckles, reaching out. "Give it here, I'll buckle her in. Not because you're scared of my driving." He raises his eyebrows."You're used to either being on your bike or in your truck. This is my car," I tease. "It might be too small for your fragile male ego.""Oh, I see how it is. You bring me to my knees once, and you think you own a piece of me."I'm sassy as I walk over to where he stands. Grabbing his shirt in my fingers, I drag myself up to level with his mouth and plant a kiss on his lips. "Just like you own a piece of me."His hands go to my ass, pressing me tightly against him. "Damn straight."Beside him,

Justice "I think we've got everything we need to take the kids with us," I grin as I look over my shoulder at Caelin."You keep saying that and someone is going to think we're actually having children.""They are ours," I argue. He rolls his eyes, leaning down to make sure everyone is comfy in the box we're taking the puppies in. The clubhouse is in for a dose of cuteness they haven't seen in years."Is there anything else we need?" I go through the bag we've packed for Joanie and the puppies, prepared to take whatever we may need with us. It's almost like having a child, or at least what I would imagine having a child with Caelin would be like."No, I think we got it all."I watch his retreating back, thankful he loves them just as much as I do. "You're gonna have so much fun," I coo to Joanie and the babies. "Everybody wants to meet all of you because they've heard so much about you. Our family is loud, but they love hard, and they're going to love you so much."She wags her tail,
